The BEST!! YET, May 4, 2008
This review is from: Quick Licks for Guitar - Jimmy Page Minor Blues Key of C (DVD)
This guitar DVD is by far the best i have purchsed yet, and i have about 30 instructinal dvd's.
The backing track is well done and so is the lesson.Which is broken into sections to make learning easier. Danny Gill is now one of my favorite teachers...he takes it slow and easy with each portion of the solos.And you will need it!! for some of these great Jimmy Page Lick's.Finally there is a DVD that features never done before licks that are for intermediate players.What makes this dvd so interesting is that you wont get tired of it due to its complex nature, not to say that even beginners will walk away with better tiiming and structure to thier soloing.The other benefit is that it isnt just standard blues style stuff there are some very melodic solos on this DVD.And it is the first to incorporate proper timming into the flow of soloing as well, Danny counts off each solo run so it makes it easier to understand how each part fits together as a whole.
Absolutly Great! The Best I have Played To Yet.Buy It, you wont be sorry you did i swear.

All around AWESOME DVD!!!, September 25, 2008
This review is from: Quick Licks for Guitar - Jimmy Page Minor Blues Key of C (DVD)
First I would like to say that this is not my first quick licks DVD. I kind of knew what to expect but this DVD actually beat my expectations. The material is laid out perfectly and the solos get progressively more challenging. There are 3 solos in total, each spanning over the 12 bars in the Jam. If like me, you play mainly metal and wanted to spice up your style, this is the DVD for you. This is challenging material, and especially challenging to someone used to playing 4/4 time all the time.
Apart from the solos, the DVD contains a section that explains the jam and chords bar by bar, and goes thru an array of scales that sound great with the chord progression. This DVD also includes the backing jam track so you can practice what your learn in context. I've been playing for a while so I know this is definitely NOT FOR A BEGINNER...Although with enough patience and lots of practice, anyone can learn this material. I am a 100% Danny Gill fan as he is a fantastic teacher. I've seen many people complain that these DVDs do not include any tabs, and they don't. But so what...It's a DVD. Hit rewind if you miss something. Bottom line is, if you ever heard some awesome sounding blues and wondred how they did it because you can't seem to make your guitar sound like that, then BUY THIS DVD.

Good information,clearly demonstrated, March 17, 2009
This review is from: Quick Licks for Guitar - Jimmy Page Minor Blues Key of C (DVD)
Danny Gill is an excellent player and teacher. Tons of great licks over a C minor rock-blues. Danny is a very clean player and my only critique would be that his playing somewhat lacks the rhythmic nuances that Jimmy Page is (in)famous for. No tab, but I believe one learns more effectively without the tab, as it makes the student actually listen to the phrases, and commit them to memory. I have about 15 of these Quick Licks DVD's and I believe they are the best on the market. The Larry Carlton, Yngwie, Steve Vai, and Jeff Beck DVD's are my personal faves. There is much quality knowledge to be gleaned from these great learning tools!
